Today's been a hard day. I found out that my boss isn't promoting me after all (instead he choses a bimbo that he's probably sleeping with), my condo is being foreclosed so I have to find a roommate ASAP and I'm having a high school reunion and I don't wanna look like a total idiot. My life has reached rock bottom. Everyone in high school(even though most hated me) expected me to be the next broadway legend. But now I'm just an intern for a the director because I refuse to sleep with him. "This drink is complimentary from the guy sitting in the booth over there." I looked up at the handsome looking bartender. I feel like I've seen him before but then I just couldn't place it. He must've been an extra in the play or something. "If you ask me, he's not worth the night. I've seen him make this move with 5 different this week." I looked over to the man and he winked at me. I just rolled my eyes at him in disgust. "Glad you finally listened to me Rachel." The bartender chuckled. I was surprised when he called me by my name since haven't said a word since I got in the bar. I realized that he wasn't an extra or even part of the life she had now. It was my best friend in Lima, Sam Evans.
"Sam!" I bent over the table and gave him a hug.
"Took you long enough to recognize me Berry." He laughed and patted my back. I pulled away from him and playfully punched him in the arm. After telling him to shut up he laughed again. "Hey I get off in a few minutes, let's hang out. I know this great coffee shop on Broadway." I cringed at the word Broadway. If you told me a few years ago that I would get shivers every time I'd hear that word or that I would see my high school best friend whom I may or may not have had a crush on back then, in a bar then I would've said you were crazy.
"Sure Sam." I smiled at him. He started looking at me for a really long time which got creepy. I blinked at him and he quickly said "I won." He laughed. It took me a while to realize that he was playing a one sided staring game. I laughed along with him and took sips of my drink. He attended to the other girls in the pub. I laughed inside as I could see them flirting with him. The best part was he was oblivious to all this. You see Sam was the type of guy that even if you declare your love for him and kiss him full on the lips, he still would be oblivious to it. I guess that was an advantage to me back when we were in high school. Before I could take the last sip of my drink two fingers poked my sides making me jump and throw my drink up too. I turned around and it was Sam, stained with my drink. "You had it coming. " I said simply.
"You're right." He laughed. I dabbed off the stain with a napkin but you could still smell the alcohol coming off him. Today really seemed to be turning around for me.
I know it's short. Sorry:P I'm posting another one later because I didn't know how to make this end properly:D The next chapter is Sam POV.
